Last Debauch of a Pro-
hibitiOn Town.
Last

When the clock strikes mid
night tonight jackson will be as
dry as a powder house. The last
three licenses to sell whisky die
and prohibition will prevail, so far
as the law is concerned. All day
long crowds have thronged the sa-
looms, imbibing the liquid which
after tonight will be non est. Jugs
by the hundreds of all sorts, sizes
and colors, from the little brown
jug holding not more than a quart
to the five-gallon demijohn, are
seen hurrying up and down the
streets in the hands of all sorts of
people, each one seemingly fearful
that it will get left.
The "Antis" and "Prohibs" seem
to be vying with each other as to
who will get their jugs filed first.
The rumor got out this morning
that the supply was exhausted
and for while there was q wailing
and tearing of hair, especially
among the colored people from the
country, who act as if they thought
some dire calamity was impending.
Every negro you meet has not less
than a quart, either on the inside or
the out, and still he is unhappy be-
cause of his inability to buy more.
While there is much drunkenness
there has been as yet no bad cases
and no trouble has resulted so far.
Midnight may show up better. 1t
don't look now like the town is 60
ing to bed till the "keg runs dry"
or the clocks announce Sunday

The Watch of Our Ancestry.

The watch is about three hundred
years old. The first that were made
were almost as large as a dinner
plate and had weights. A man must
have felt queer Juggling one of those
clumsy things about in his inside
vest pocket, with the weights
hanging down his trousers leg. Or
perhaps he kept them in his coat
tail pocket. The early watch had
only one hand, though it must
have taken both hands to wind it,
the operation requiring to be done
twice day. If man faith
fully discharged his duties towards
his watch he had very little time
for anything else.

"There is quite a craze in town
for massage" said well-known
physician: "people think they need
a massage who don't know what
massage is, and who couldn't pos
sibly get any benefit from that
treatment if they were TO take it
six times. Only this morning 1
was called in to see young lady
over on the West side. Her case
was not serious, and I told her so.
But Doctor she exclaimed, don't
you think massage would do me
good" Yes replied, Il think it
would; next Monday you'd better
60 into the kitchen and see what
kind of massage you can give the

been asked to call again, and pre-

Obituary..

Anthonis Brown Butin was born
Aug. q, 1923, near Cadiz, Hooking
Co., Ohio and died March the 18th.
1887 at Point Pleasant, w. Va, in
the sixty fourth year of his age.
He was married Sept. II, 1913 to-
Miss Eliza j. James, by Rev. Joseph
Carper, in Logan, o. at the resid-
ence of c. w. James, Esq. To them
were born seven children, four Of
whom survive. Most of his life
was spent in Logan. About five
years ago he moved to Columbus,
o. and two years after he moved to
Point Pleasant, w. Va, where he
remained until his death.
AT the age of fifteen he was con-
verted and united with the M. Il.
Church in Logan in the communion
of which he lived faithful and eX-
emplary member till his departure
to the Church Triumphant. For
many years he filed the responsible
offices Of Steward and Glass leader
in the church, and discharged the
duties of each Office with honor to
himself and fidelity to the Master.
Bro. Butin was not demonstrative
either as q man or christian, but
his integrity was unquestionable,
and his piety fervent, deep and
constant. He relished divine
things. 1t was more than his
meat and drink to do the Masters
will. The word of God was as
sweet as honey and the honey
comb. He was good listener, an
attentive hearer; it was pleasure
to preach to him, he was ever in
sympathy with the speaker and
the preached Word. When health
permitted his place was filled at all
the services at Gods house, and
none will be more missed where he
ilVeu anu WOrSnlppeu.
His summons was sudden. About
three o'clock last Monday morning
he was attacked with paralysis of
the Brain," and at 10 o'clock the
same morning expired. His funer-
al was preached by the writer at
the M. E. Church in Logan, the
10th. inst. to a large and attentive
audience. His text was taken
from Revelations IA, 13. His re-
mains, in charge of the Masons,
were followed by large concourse
of people to the cemetry, where
they were desposited to await the
resurrection. j. F. WILLIAMS.

BILL NYE'S NEW YER
SION.
The Guest without u We'd
ding Garment.

It came to pass that q certain
railroad man sent forth his SER
wants to call them that were bid
den to the Wedding, and they
would not come.
Again he sent forth other SER
wants, saying, behold, I have killed
the old hen and prepared the we'd
ding dinner and opened keg of
nails and all things are ready for
blowout.
But they made light of it and
went their ways, one to his farm,
another to his drug store, and AZ =
other to his grist-mill and anther
took the servants and treated them
spitefully, put tin ear on them,
and frescoed them with Michael
Angelo eggs.
But when the railroad king
heard of it he bounced the entire
outfit and shut off their passes and
raised their freight tariff and busted
them up in their business and
smote them sore on the gable-end
Of their intellects and made it red
hot for them.
Then he said unto his servants,
the wedding is ready, but they
which are bidden are not worthy.
Go we, therefore, down the side
track and into the round-house and
the water-tank and the cabooses
and the gravel-trains and gather
together as many as ye shall find
and tell them to come over to the
wedding feast and fill themselves
up.
And the servants went forth and
rounded up as many as they could
find, both good and bad, and bade
them to the feast.
And when the King went into
the reception room he found there
a man who had not on spike tail
coat low-necked shoes and clocked
socks.
And he said to him: "Pardner,
how cometh it that thou art here
without any store-clothes on, and
wearing instead a linen duster and
Jim-crow raiment generally"
And the man was at first speech
less, but he answered yet again:
Oh, railroad king! live forever.
know that I am here without a
wedding garment; but behold, 1
conductor on thy line, and 1 have
reformed, and have ceased to
knock down; and behold thy SER
want is poor, and he is trying to
live on his salary.
And the king was wroth, and
told the usher to gather him in and
take him by the slack of his raj
ment and to cast him over the out
er wall, and there was weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
And, while the wedding guests
made merry and whooped it up,
the man who was cast out did steal
around and become solid with the
cook, and filled himself up with the
wedding feast on the sly.
And it came to pass that when
he had eaten of the fatted calf and
the wedding cake, and absorbed all
the champagne that he could carry
away, he crawled into the NOW and
slept till the cock crew.
And when the morning was
come, he journeyed over the rail-
road track toward Salt Lake; for
behold he was tamp.-Laranaie

Addressing body of business
men at Bridgeport not long since,
IT. Barnum said: 'sYou do not
advertise enough. You ought to
use printers ink every day. You
are asleep and want your busines
to run itself. Standing advertise
ments in q paper command con-
fidence. The man who for a year
lives in community and leads a
reputable life even though he be of
moderate ability, will grow in con-
fidence and esteem of his fellows.
On the same principal, news
paper advertisement becomes IA
miliar to the eyes of the reader.
1t may be seldom read, but it still
makes the name and business of
the man familiar, and it's presence
in the columns of paper inspires
confidence in the stability of its
enterprise"

An $500 Dream.

MIR. Fred ]. Clarke, a draughts-
man at the Union Pacific shops.
dreamed not long ago that he had
desposited small sum in q bank
at Charlestown, Mass, many years
ago, and that it had never been
drawn out. The impression of his
dream was retained in his mind
until morning, and as he could re-
member that he had at one time a
small sum on a desposit in the
bank, Mr.. Clarke wrote to a friend
In Boston, asking him to investi-
gate the matter. 1t was found that
the dream had been true, and the
money, left at interest for twenty
four years, had increased to about
$500. The necessary preliminaries
were gone though with and Mr..
Clarke has just received the
amount named above, which stood
to his credit there all the time.

A Voice FROM the Far North.

Grand Forks Plandealer: The ques-
ton whether the people of the territory
are in. favor Of the division of Dakota
upon the seventh standard parallel will
have an authoritative answer next
November. The question OF division
Will be submitted to vote at the next
November elections in accordance with
. bill passed by the last legislature.
Local option will be submitted with it,
whloh will insure u reasonably full vote,
While we do hot think congress Of the
democratic party or the pubic in gener-
al ever doubted that a majority of the
people OF the territory were IN favor of
division, as it was never authoritatively
settled, the opponents of the admission
of the territory affected to believe that
It yes e.s effss:. question. They refused
to accept the voice of she various poiiti-
cal conventions aud legislatures and, in
fact, of all public assemblies that have
been held during the past Biz years. We
believe it was wise, therefore, to have an
authoritative expression by the peo-
pie at the polls. 1t they decide for
division 1t will settle the question for
all time. No political party Can go be-
hind the returns of a people who express
themselves practically unanimous at the
polls. The question of division having
been disposed of, the only remaining
question will be admission, and as it Is
unanimously conceded that the territory
is entitled to admission; it will be diff.
cult for any political party to continue
to refuse to grant citizenship to 100000
people. The action of the legislature IL
submitting the question OF division to
the people will force congress into ItE
last trench. It will dlsarm the democratic
party. of its excuse for opposing admis-
sion. 1t is q practical move in the right
direction, and will result, We believe, ir
the admission Of North and South Dako'
ta in thefcoming two years. It is not toe
soon now for the voters of the territory
TO take the question OF division under
serious advisement 80 that next Novem
Der they can pass intelligently upon the
question.
